  • 2 bell peppers, any color except green, cored and coarsely chopped (9 oz whole)
  • 6 oz. celery ribs, coarsely chopped, including any tender leaves, about ¾ cup chopped
  • 1 large, 4 oz. carrot, peeled and coarsely chopped, about ½ cup
  • 2 medium green onions, trimmed and coarsely chopped, about ¼ cup
  • 2 small kosher dill pickles, (about 2 oz.) 
  • ¼ cup pickle brine
  • 6 Queen sized pimiento stuffed olives
  • ¼ cup olive brine
  • 1 ½ Tbsp. Dale’s Perfect Chicken Savory seasoning blend

  • 2 Tbsp. red pepper jelly
  • 1 Tbsp. hot sauce of choice
  • 1 Tbsp. prepared horseradish sauce
  • 1 large, juicy lime, zested and juiced
  • 1 large lemon, zested and juiced
Directions
  1. In the pitcher of a high speed blender, combine all vegetables and seasonings except for lime and lemon ingredients. Process on high until all vegetables are pureed and mixture is smooth. 
  2. Zest the lime and lemon, then measure 1 teaspoon zest of each; add to blender. Juice the lime and the lemon, combine the juice, then add ⅓ cup juice to the blender, reserving any remaining juice and zest for a later use.
  3. Process the juice mixture, taste to adjust seasonings as desired. At this point you can make your juice more spicy by adding cayenne, a little more hot sauce, or chopped jalapeno peppers; process mixture and taste again. 
  4. If you want the consistency of your juice to be thinner, add 1 cup cold water and stir until uniform consistency is achieved.
